Ghost in the cupboard...
This QOTW reminds me of a lovely Halloween prank which occurred in McDonald's this year.

Halloween was upon us and we had the usual visits from trick or treaters dressed as something not-even-remotely scary trying to blag a free happy meal.

As we were all on a night shift (and extremely bored) the shift manager (I'll call him Ross because that was his name) decided to try and trick one of the new girls on shift. (She'd only been there a week, if that.)

He began recalling tales of how the store was built on an old cemetery which was never used after they opened a new one and relocated all the bodies. As the girl had only just moved here, she lapped the story up with great gusto, nodding like a Churchill dog at everything he said. Being blonde didn't help matters. (Sorry blondies!!!)

He then went into the inside stockroom, which has a slight hole in the wall with a pipe of some sort connecting to something. On the other side of this hole was a small stock cupboard which was used for holding cups, lids e.t.c.

The hole was slightly bigger than the pipe, just so you could fit an arm through. Beforehand, he told me and some other crew to let out a cough or a signal of some sort to alert him when she was near the cupboard.

Sure enough, when he was in place, she got near the haunted door. I coughed and he prodded the door with a brush handle which opened it slightly. The girl looking confused shut the door and went on her merry way.

Repeat about ten times and it gets boring. Then he decides to raise the bar. He waited for one of the other crew to ask her to fill the cups up and as she opened the door he put his hand through the hole and passed her a stack of cups.

Cue much screaming on her part and much hilarity on ours. She fled the store and quit shortly after.

"She fled the store and none of us have seen her since." is clearly a bit of made up dramatisation :)

Edit
Hmm your right I should change it. She hasn't returned to work. Seriously, she quit. I haven't come across her since that day but she must exist somewhere.

I can't visualise this.
How can there be a 'slight' hole? And how could she not have seen the hole through which someone can fit a whole arm?

Hole
The hole was just about big enough to fit an arm through. And as it was on the inside of a cupboard it wasn't in plain view.
